Maybe I'm Better Off Lyrics - Todd Rundgren

Maybe I'm better off 

If I never leave this cell 

Maybe I've lived enough 

In a world as free as hell (just as free as hell) 

Where you keep on thinking 

While it's stinking 

You enjoy the smell 

And you lick the bowl as well 

Love's out there 

They tell you 

They sell you anything to make you happy 

Then it all just turns to crap 

So maybe I'm better off 

Than I was when I was young 

Now that I know the cost 

When you try to love someone 

Guess I'm better off 

In jail at thirty-one

What about all my friends? 

Now I won't have to watch them die 

And every time they sell out 

I won't be there to question why 

They can get so high 

On the butts they're kissing 

While they're pissing 

'way each other's lives 

As they shag each other's wives 

No shopping, co-oping 

None of the grand design to sooth the masses 

'til it's time to pay your taxes 

Maybe I'm better off 

Than I was in days gone by 

Now that I know the cost 

When you set your sights too high 

Yes I'm better off

It's jailbreak time for ian 

Maybe I'm better off 

Now that I've kissed her off 

Now that they've whisked me off to the slammer and 

Maybe I'm better off 

Now that she's pissed me off 

Now that my fist takes on a new glamour and 

Maybe my mind's run off 

Maybe I've just gone off my head 

Maybe I've just gone 'round the bend 

Maybe I'm in my own little world 

It's jailbreak time for ian 

Praise the lord, it's jailbreak time for ian 

What the hell took you so long? 

Life hands you new chances 

Uncertain circumstances 

Set you back 

But then you win the lotto jackpot 

Every time you give up (every time you give up) 

Then you give up being young 

Everything has a cost 

That's the way this world is run 

Maybe I'm better off 

Now I'm free and thirty-one 

I'm free, male, and thirty-one
